EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Differentiation and premiumization are driving growth in Canadas pet food market. The development of enhanced pet food products is creating greater segmentation with factors such as age, breed and health maintenance, as the focus in this market. Pet humanization has evolved to the point where consumer preference for natural pet health products and nutritional ingredients is growing. Pet owners are looking for natural ingredients to ensure their pets stay healthy. They want to see ingredients that are recognizable, and that are similar to what they themselves are eating. The pet food industry has responded to pet owners through product expansions and selections, incorporating demands for natural, organic, eco-friendly, health and wellness, and new tastes and flavours. It is estimated that 35% of Canadian households owned a cat in 2010, with an average of 1.8 cats per dwelling. Canadian cat food sales are expected to grow at a Cumulative Average Growth Rate (CAGR) of 3%, reaching CAD $738 million in 2015. The dog population in Canada was just over five million in 2010, with 32.3% of Canadian homes owning a dog, down slightly from 35.1% in 2009. Over the next few years, dog food sales are projected to grow in constant value at a CAGR of 3%, to total CAD $1.1 billion in 2015. Ongoing global economic uncertainty is having an impact on not only what pet owners purchase, but also where they shop. While pet specialist retailersespecially pet superstorescontinue to help drive pet humanization, grocery retailers are receiving a boost in pet food sales as consumers become more price conscious. Pet-related spending will continue to increase rapidly over the coming years, due in large part to the aging pet population, and owners seeking higher quality food for their pets. Furthermore, according to BMO Capital Markets economic outlook (May 2010), real disposable income in Canada was expected to increase by 3% in 2010, and 2% in 2011. Discretionary spending is highly correlated to levels of disposable income and in the context of pet care, higher disposable income will lead to increases in pet-related spending. New regulations on pet food imports from the United States (U.S.), which Canada introduced in 2009, have raised barriers to entry, and thus created new opportunities for the domestic pet food manufacturing industry.

CONSUMER TRENDS
Friskies brand cat food is the most popular purchase among cat food buyers. The company offers a multi-flavour, gourmet variety-pack, enabling consumers to try flavours they might not have thought of purchasing. Del Monte has followed suit offering similar pack options for their Meow Mix brand, however, some other cat food manufacturers are instead attempting to attract customers through marketing and image upgrades for their products and brands. There has been a shift in sales from wet to dry cat food in recent years, and this movement is expected to continue. Canadian consumers preference for dry cat food can be attributed to convenience in terms of storage, and the option to buy in bulk. They also feel that dry cat food is more sanitary because cats do not generally eat all of their food in one sitting. Dry food was the most popular choice amongst Canadian dog owners, with Mars Canada Inc.s Pedigree brand garnering a 19% market share in 2009. In addition, the companys Pedigree brand of dog treats took top spot in terms of market share in 2009, at 20.2%. Subtle pet ownership changes are occurring in Canada. Numbers indicate that there was a decline in ownership of ornamental fish and a rise in the incidence of small reptiles being kept as pets, especially certain varieties of lizards such as geckos. These changes are a result of demographic and lifestyle changes. Reptiles require less maintenance and are well-suited to being kept in captivity, making them an ideal pet for urban settings.
RETAIL TRENDS
Grocery retailers remain the largest distribution channel for commercial cat food. Cat food is less specialized, cheaper and offered in less bulky packaging which makes it easier to pick up while grocery shopping. To further boost cat food sales, grocers frequently offer in-store cat food promotions that are not normally available through specialty outlets. Canadian dog owners also preferred making pet food purchases through their grocery retail channel. As with cats, dog owners also resorted to bulk buying and taking advantage of the cheaper retail channel, giving grocery discounters 21% of dog food retail sales in 2009.

Pet superstores and supermarkets/hypermarkets also saw increases in the value share of dog food sales, as they were able to offer in-store promotions and discounts, in addition to bulk purchasing and private label selections, including premium variations. The majority of products relating to other pets are only available through pet-specialist retailers, and are typically not widely advertised beyond store flyers and in-store promotion. Due to low levels of competition in the other pet food sold through pet-specialists and retailers, there is high mark-up of product. These higher prices exist to balance out the low volumes of other pet food sold in Canada. Compared to the range of dog and cat food found in grocery retailers, the selection of other pet food is far more limited. Grocers are reluctant to stock wide selections of other pet food due to its limited demand and low volume sales. Nestle SAs strategy of selling pet food through pet stores has made the company less susceptible to the price sensitivity usually associated with supermarkets, with the company reporting higher pricing each year for the past decade.

INDUSTRY COMPETITION
Pet food total imports into Canada reached CAD $708 million in value for 2010, a drop from CAD $749.9 million in 2008. However, imported pet food volume in 2010 increased by three million kilograms over 2009 figures. Unit pricing reflects the drop in sales, with a per kilogram value of CAD $1.75, a drop from CAD $1.87 in 2009. The majority of pet food imported into Canada comes from the United States, which supplies approximately 75% of Canadas pet food imports. The small size of the other pet food market, combined with distribution primarily through specialized retail, represents a certain barrier to entry and market development in the other pet food industry. None of the leading global pet food companies, which maintain a strong presence in dog and cat food, are present in other pet food. This trend shelters the players already involved in the category from further competition. This, combined with low levels of advertising, has led to a relatively stable status quo in terms of competitive positioning. Five manufacturers and private label players account for the majority of other pet food value sales in Canada.

MARKET DATA
The overall cat population in Canada reached 8.4 million in 2010, remaining relatively stable since 2008. It is estimated that 35% of Canadian households owned a cat in 2010, with an average of 1.8 cats per dwelling. The average age of a family cat is 5.7 years. Seventy percent of the Canadian cat population is over the age of four, and one-fifth of that group are over the age of 10. The high number of cats in Canada can be attributed to the fact that cats are more adaptable to city life and apartment living, and the cost of ownership for cats is much lower than it is for dogs. Cats are also easier and cheaper to obtain, often being given away, compared to the more rigid screening and suitability assessments many dog owners are subjected to prior to ownership. Dry cat food will experience an increase of CAGR 4% in value, and will be mainly attributed to sales of premium dry cat food, which is forecast to see a CAGR of 6% in value and 5% in volume. Wet cat food sales will remain stable with a projected CAGR of 2% in value, coming from premium selections. The dog population in Canada was just over five million in 2010. The number of Canadian homes with a dog fell slightly to 32.3% in 2010, from 35.1% in 2009. A closer analysis shows multiple dogs are residing in fewer Canadian homes. The average age of the Canadian dog population is 5.9 years and rising, 63% are over the age of four, 33% are over eight and only 8% are aged under one year old. This age structure has implications for the industry, creating demand for food that can address the health concerns of senior dogs. In 2009, 33% of dry dog food and 30% of wet dog food consumed in Canada were targeted towards senior pets, a significant jump from the 18% recorded in both categories in 2008. Over the next few years, dog food sales are projected to grow in constant value at a CAGR of 3%, reaching CAD $1.1 billion in sales for 2015. While the dog food industry is mature, particularly mid-priced dog food, new sales are coming from premium dog food and dog treats. Pet nutrition is a high priority for many dog owners, and is fuelling the growth in the premiumization trend. As owners pay increased attention to what their dog is eating, manufacturers are increasingly offering products high in protein and low in by-product fillers and artificial additives. The other pet food sector is small relative to the dog and cat food sectors, and has fewer, generally specialized manufacturers, who tend to produce only other pet food products. In Canada, there were approximately 2.7 million birds, 8.3 million fish, 1.2 million small mammals, and 266,000 reptiles in 2010. The other pet food sector garnered a 1.7% increase in sales in 2009 over 2008 figures, and is projected to continue this trend in the near future. The value CAGR from 2005-2010 is 1.1%, while the volume CAGR from 2005 to 2010 was 9.5%. Interesting to note is the growing popularity of reptiles over fish, however, Canadians love of more conventional pets will limit the other pet sectors overall growth in popularity. This rising pet population continues to contribute to an increase in the overall market for pet food, both in value and volume terms, although some categories such as bird and fish food, have been underperforming compared to products such as cat or dog food.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENTS
PETsMART will be selling holistic pet food under the Innova brand commencing May 2011. The range will be produced by the Natura Pet Products line, and was previously only available at independent pet specialty retailers. The chain has reported that a significant portion of their sales come from premium pet food for dogs and cats. Purina states that their most exciting launch in the past year was their Beyond product, which includes packaging in bags made from 90% renewable material that are printed with soy-based inks. Also, the brand is produced at a Nestl Purina plant in Denver, Colorado, U.S. thats partially run on solar power. Canadas WellPet company released Original Adult Natural Dog Food under the Eagle Pack brand. Eagle Pack Original Adult Natural Dog Food has been reformulated and now contains glucosamine. It has also been repackaged and is available in a 6-lb pack featuring a new look. In Canada, Holistic Blend released Chicken Rice and Vegetable Dog Food under its name brand. Holistic Blend Chicken Rice and Vegetable Dog Food is suitable for all life stages, and is made with free range chicken, chelated minerals, antioxidants, herbs, whole grains, and fruit. Private label pet food is making progress in the industry by replicating the strategies of the larger companies branded products. Their focus is on food formulations and upgraded packaging, enabling them to better compete against mid-priced, rather than economy, pet food. The aging pet population, which constitutes the majority of pets owned in Canada, is fuelling the growth of pet food products developed to address their special dietary requirements. Products developed to help alleviate hip and joint, and digestive problems are hitting the shelves in growing numbers. As an example, Pedigrees line of treats, Good Bites, offers multi-vitamin and hip-and-joint treats. The Hills Science Diet brand now offers treats with labels such as immunity support, mobility and light. There were 138 new pet food products launched in Canada in 2010. Functional, natural and plus food categories saw the most activity, claiming the majority of new product launches in 2010. The favoured package used by manufacturers for the majority of both dog and cat food, was bags in a wide range of sizes.

DOG FOOD
As of 2010, 32.3% of Canadian households owned a dog, a slight dip in numbers from 35.1% in 2009. The dog population has remained relatively stable, reaching just over five million in 2010. Unit prices will continue to rise, reflected in the gap between value and volume sales. Dog treats and mixers, with an estimated CAGR of 14.8% from 2005 to 2010, had the greatest volume growth in Canadas dog food/treat industry. Following closely behind was dry dog food with a CAGR of 11.3% over the same time frame. To a lesser extent, wet dog food also experienced growth, with a CAGR estimate of 2% from 2005-2010.
When taking a look at value growth percentages between 2005 to 2010, we see a CAGR of 26.3% for dog treats/ mixers, followed by 21.4% for dry dog food, and a CAGR of 12.8% for wet dog food. Canadian dog owners who purchased premium dog food, overwhelmingly chose dry over wet food in 2010, with sales reaching CAD $160 million.

CAT FOOD
Canadian cat food sales increased by 4.5% in value during 2010, rising to CAD $632 million, while volume grew by 2%, reaching 152,864,000 tonnes. Dry cat food sales showed the most growth in 2009 at 5%. Cat food is projected to increase at a CAGR of 3.1% over the forecast period to reach CAD $ 737 million in 2015. Sales of both wet and dry premium cat food are relatively the same when comparing price per kilogram. Cat food sales have been relatively unaffected by external pressure from the economy or consumers. The general nature of cats dietary needs consists mainly of high protein content. Varieties of cat food, including private label, offer wet cat food in many flavours. Segmentation by breed size does not exist in cat food, however there are variants for kittens, adults and seniors, as well as formulations that target specific cat ailments, such as hair-ball control and weight management. The cat food industry is fairly mature with limited opportunities for expansion, and is expected to experience minimal growth in the coming years. New import regulations for bovine products from the U.S. since mid-2009 have not had a significant impact on the cat food industry, other than smaller manufacturers opting to not source bovine-based pet food from the United States.
